In case you haven’t noticed, Toronto is in the grips of an Italian sandwich obsession.  It seems like every other new restaurant these days is serving up a variety of Italian cold cut sandwiches.

Enter: Tutto Panino.  They’ve got the usual assortment of cold salami and mortadella sandwiches, though their specialty — the Bolito (“beef brisket, salsa verde, chili oil”) — is a hot one.

It’s a solid sandwich.  It comes crammed with a healthy amount of ultra-tender braised beef brisket, and is topped with a zippy salsa verde.  You can get it mild or hot — I went with hot, and yeah, it’s got a decent kick.  It’s nothing too aggressive, but it’ll give you a bit of a tingle.

The lightly crispy bun does a good job of holding up to the meaty sandwich, though I wish it were either a bit crustier, or lightly toasted.  Everything here is quite soft, so some extra texture would be nice.

Similarly, the salsa verde is tasty, but I really think the sandwich needs some pickles or something a bit more acidic to cut through the richness of the beef.

Still, I didn’t love it, but am I mad that I ate this sandwich?  Absolutely not.  Would I eat it again?  I absolutely would.
